Brazilian entrepreneur Ancleuton Holanda Dias is identified as the founder of CJS Trader, according to Brazilian media reports. Dias is believed to operate CJS Trader from Brazil, where 100% of the website's traffic originates. The company's website, cjstrader.net, was privately registered on May 16th, 2020.
CJS Trader offers no retailable products or services. Affiliates can only recruit new members into the scheme. The primary draw for new recruits is the promise of a 3% daily return on investment, capped at a total of 250%. Funds are generated through commissions paid on new investments from recruited affiliates.
The compensation plan includes a unilevel structure, where affiliates earn 10% on their first level of recruits, 3% on the second, 2% on the third, and 1% on the fourth and fifth levels. Additionally, a binary structure rewards affiliates with 10% of investments made on their weaker side, with volume carried over to the next day. An ROI match of 0.5% is paid on personally recruited affiliates' investments.
This lack of transparency regarding ownership, coupled with Dias's prior involvement with Sudbrook—a social media pyramid scheme facing civil lawsuits—suggests a deliberate effort to conceal his identity. Sudbrook also operated as a pyramid scheme, where participants profited from recruiting new members rather than from genuine product sales.
CJS Trader affiliates invest funds with the expectation of a significant daily ROI, incentivized to recruit others to sustain the payout structure. The company has not disclosed any information regarding its operational base or the technology behind its purported AI trading bot. Brazilian media reports, however, indicate Dias resides and operates from Brazil, with website traffic data corroborating this, showing all visitors originating from that country.
